Sanctuary Church San Francisco: Recent Episodes
Sanctuary SF
Sanctuary SF is a church plant in the heart of San Francisco, where we seek to both honor God’s Word and live by His Spirit. For us, success is loving well, one person at a time.
In this message from Sanctuary SF’s “New Humans” series, we explore Ephesians 4:1–16 and what it means to live as a unified, Spirit-filled community shaped by love.
We’re reminded that identity in Christ is not only personal but communal—rooted in the oneness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The church is God’s chosen vehicle to spread His glory and love throughout the earth.
Discover how spiritual gifts work together to build up the Body of Christ, how love matures us into Christlike character, and how the Church reflects the very heart of the Trinity.

In this message from our New Humans series through Ephesians, we walk through Ephesians 3: the revealed mystery of Christ, the church as God’s manifold wisdom, and Paul’s powerful prayer that we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.
We recap chapters 1–2 (adoption, grace, unity), then read Ephesians 3 and reflect on how God forms a new humanity in Christ—Jew and Gentile together—displaying his wisdom to rulers and authorities. We consider living as a “signpost of the age to come,” and we close by praying Paul’s prayer (Eph 3:14–21) over our community.
Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1–3; Ephesians 3:6, 10, 14–21

Reflection Questions
What does Ephesians 3 reveal about who God is and what He’s doing through the church?
Where do you sense Christ inviting you to “let Him dwell” more deeply in your heart?
How can our community embody God’s multi-colored wisdom in a divided world?

In this message, we explore how the gospel creates a new family in Christ. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:11–22 that through Jesus, the dividing walls of hostility are torn down, and people from every background are brought near by His blood. No longer strangers and outsiders, we are now fellow citizens and members of God’s household.
Hi! Welcome to Sanctuary Church SF.
We’re so glad you’re here! This is the place to watch our latest sermons, be encouraged in your faith, and stay connected with what God is doing in and through Sanctuary Church in San Francisco.
In this message from Ephesians 1:15–23, we dive into Paul’s powerful prayer for the church — a prayer for new vision, spiritual wisdom, and resurrection power. Discover how prayer opens the eyes of your heart to see what God sees, and how you can live with the same power that raised Christ from the dead.
Who are you, really? In a world that constantly tries to define us by our past, our failures, our appearance, or our success, God has already given us a greater identity in Christ.
In this message, we dive deep into Ephesians 1:1–14 to discover what God says about who we are in Him. From being chosen and adopted to being redeemed and sealed with the Holy Spirit, this passage shows us the unshakable truth of our identity as believers.

"This week, we’ll be entering back into the story of Gideon, exploring what this ancient tale might teach us today. Just like Gideon, we’ve had the profound privilege of receiving our identity from God: his beloved child. And like Gideon, we’ve all received a daunting and yet compelling call on our lives: to see a life-giving, reproducing church planted in San Francisco. But before Gideon gets to jump into the action, there’s something else God has for him to do… right in his own home.
The story of Gideon might just reveal that before we jump head-first back into church-planting post-COVID, God has some other work for us first." -Tim Harms

The Northgate Equipping Sessions | Session 3
Luke 6:12-19, 40, John 14:12 & 2 Cor. 3:2
The primary lense through which to view reality is a relational one. More than the lense of success, wealth, health or anything else. RELATIONSHIPS MATTER MOST & in which case your PERSONAL PRESENCE is paramount.
Today Tom explored 3 Qs:
1). What do I mean?
2). Why is this important?
3). How can we take some steps forward?
The Northgate Equipping Sessions | Matthew 28
Questions and Response:
- What would Jesus say is success for Sanctuary?
Making disciples. Disciple being someone who is following the Rabbi. Relationship progression with Him as key success in the "Up" alongside relationship in the "In" & "Out" (city around us.)
- What to do in response?
First step is measuring and treasuring every step we make in the 'Up, In and Out,' which overcomes the voice of shame that focuses on not being enough. In contrast, Jesus/Heaven celebrate each and every step we/others take in the 'Up, In and Out.'
Discussion Questions:
What steps can you celebrate you've taken in the 'Up, In and Out' recently?
Which of these 3 dimensions do you feel most encouraged by? Which most challenged?
What effect do you feel when in your mind body and soul when you start to measure and treasure these steps you've taken?
What steps might Jesus want you to take in partnering with Jesus in His discipling of others?
The Scouts were used as illustration of an organization that seems both clear on its metric of success (being prepared) and good at both measuring and treasuring small stepson the way to that vision (badges and cheering each other on as they are given out.)
